Cognizant Chief AI Officer Babak Hodjat – Head of the firm’s AI lab in San Francisco, tackles the realities of scaling agentic AI across the enterprise, with HFS Executive Research Leader David Cushman.

You can listen above or watch this HFS Videocast here:

Key points discussed include:

  • Where multi-agent systems break first – and what that means for the state of progress in agentic AI.
  • How an agent OS – a standardized layer for governance, orchestration, observability, data trust, and workforce integration, helps enterprises handle the complexity ceiling they will inevitably hit when scaling the use of agentic AI.
  • And what’s the impact of the newly emerged OpenClaw and its promise of end-to-end workflows?
